The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF)

.

I am now a Patron Member of the Second Amendment Foundation. Hitting the “send button” after completing the online application form late Thursday evening fulfilled a long-standing promise that I made to myself. It gave me closure. By any earthly measure, I am not a wealthy man and never will be. If my budget projections are correct, this may well be my last significant financial contribution to the cause. All that I may have left to offer from here on is the power of my vote.

The battle for our Second Amendment rights did not end with District of Columbia V. Heller or with McDonald V. Chicago. Multiple court battles are underway while a number of deserving cases wait for their day. The Second Amendment Foundation is second to none when it comes to defending our rights inside of the courtroom. The SAF is there for us. The SAF needs and deserve our support. Please help if you can.

BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER EMERGENCIES

Non-profit organizations, and the Local, State, and Federal Governments, cannot do it all. Prepare beforehand. Have supplies. Have a plan. Follow all instructions issued by emergency agencies. For example: Should the authorities say to evacuate due to a Category-5 Hurricane with 30 ft. tidal surge, you may want to do just that. During any emergency, and during disaster recovery, there is a good chance you will be on your own. Learn how to survive beforehand. Include plans and provisions to save your pets.
